What precautions can I take before using my watch in water?

Before using your water-resistant watch in water, there are several ways to ensure its protection:

Verify its water-resistance with a TAG Heuer Official Service Centre within past 12 months.Ensure the crown is fully pushed in (and depending on the model, screwed down) against the case in order to preserve its water-resistance.Leather straps are not advisable as they can be deformed/discoloured by water. For frequent or prolonged use in water, we recommend a metal bracelet or rubber strap.After exposure to salt water, rinse the watch in fresh water then dry it.The table below indicates appropriate activities for the water-resistance of your watch.
